True considers this double role focusing specifically on Jesuit "protoethnography" that resulted in the I Relations des Jésuites de la Nouvelle-France i . Given that missionaries in New France received published versions of the I Relations i , he infers that the changes implemented by editors in France may have influenced future manuscripts, in line with previous published editions. This book offers a refreshing approach to Jesuit protoethnography in the I Relations i , unveiling the ongoing reviewing process the texts were subjected to, both in New France and in France.

Semiotics has been an academic discipline for over 100 years. According to Zhao, a "sign is the perception that carries meaning" (Zhao, [7], 1); therefore, semiotics is "the study of meaning" ([7], 2). In the third book of his trilogy, I Philosophical Semiotics i ([8]), Zhao develops "exhibition" into a general criterion to distinguish the specific type of cultural text: "only through exhibition can we decide the way we interpret the cultural text" (Zhao, [8], 225). In this regard, Zhao's book should be regarded as a pioneer in the age of new semiotics, because it is, so far, the first monograph that refines "signs" and "semiotics", and thereby reconstructs semiotics at the root.

As the increasing discussion over social stratification and mobility indicates, the idea of "education changes destiny" has progressively been brought into question. In his classic study of British working-class boys from 1975, which is widely read in the fields of sociology, anthropology, and education, Paul Willis uncompromisingly revealed that liberal ideology about equal opportunity was only an empty promise and, more importantly, how the counter-cultural cognition and expression adopted the constraints of the structural conditions and at the same time leads to the reproduction of them. Despite the tragic mechanism behind the contradictory counter-culture, Willis remained optimistic about the radical potential in the symbolic works against dominant discourse. His in-depth ethnographic description didn't only contribute to the endless theoretical debate about Structure and Process, but also provided a methodological approach encouraging extensive fieldwork, in which he believed the "theoretical uncertainty" lies. Ethnography can really "become the intellectual education of those who are governed," if the scholars are willing to understand and communicate with the informal cultural groups and believe that their fate can be changed.

Yeh persuasively concludes that "Shanghai-Center" paradigm is bound to, be it deliberately or unintentionally, give rise to the negligence of pertinent film activities, formation of film concepts and dissemination of film culture in other regions. In virtue of a detailed analysis of the film, Zhang links Liu's film practice with international avant-garde art, enriching our understanding of early Chinese films' interaction with European and American film counterparts.
